JOHN SLOAN A Thirst for Art.
Etching, 1939. 100x153 mm; 4x6 inches, full margins. Third state (of 4). Edition of 100. Signed, titled and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin. A very good, well-inked impression with strong contrasts.
"One of those exhibition opening cocktail parties. Enthusiasm resulting from the lifting of prohibition prevails over interest in art," and, "They don't see the pictures at all, knocking them crooked on the wall with their shoulders," were Sloan's comments on this etching. Morse 306.
